Plane guard was one of the important duties destroyers performed in the Vietnam War. Due to the dangers of flight operations and carrier landings, destroyers stood by to respond in case any incident required immediate aid be rendered to pilots or crew. In this personal 8mm footage, USS Mansfield (DD 728) serves this duty while trailing an unidentified aircraft carrier (looks like an Essex class?) while A-1 and A-4 aircraft return to the carrier. Does anyone remember their ship doing plane guard
